Another indispensable solution is to strengthen cooperation in training and development of tourism human resources between tourism businesses, training institutions and large enterprises, to link training with practice, enhance specialized training, and create conditions to improve the qualifications of the workforce in the tourism industry.
On the other hand, for training institutions, it is necessary to research and innovate training programs, content, and methods in the context of global integration and digitalization trends.

Discussing solutions to improve the quality of human resources in the tourism industry, Mr. Nguyen Duc Hien - Chairman of the Tourism Association, Director of Muong Thanh Song Lam Hotel said that the important issue is that tourism establishments must balance, plan, and determine human resource needs to strengthen training, retraining, and advanced training. Enterprises need to have connections and sign contracts with training establishments to have human resources to meet job requirements at each stage. Tourism establishments also need to coordinate, share, cooperate, and support each other in using labor resources.

Mr. Dinh Trung Kien - Deputy Director of Saigon Kim Lien Hotel said that it is necessary to regularly organize training courses to improve the skills of employees at the enterprise, or invite reputable training institutions to organize short-term training courses with certificates. Enterprises must build a salary scale according to skill level to encourage employees to self-study to improve their professional and foreign language skills. In addition, establish and strengthen cooperative relationships between enterprises and training institutions to support each other in theoretical and practical training so that the products of training institutions are closer and more practical to the tourism business; moving forward, it is possible to sign training cooperation contracts according to the specific requirements of enterprises.

From the perspective of local tourism management, Mr. Pham Van Giang - Head of the Department of Culture and Information of Quynh Luu district said that it is necessary to standardize the qualifications of the staff working in tourism at the grassroots level.

In addition, the tourism sector should strengthen training on expertise and skills, and update new sources of information for the grassroots staff.
